教学设计理念
主题语境引领下的词汇、语法教学,英语学习活动观
1. 新课标要求“根据主题内容,构建不同的词汇语义网,积累词块、扩大词汇量”。本节课在设计时,将主题意义引领下的英语学习活动观与词汇、语法教学相融合,通过创设与主题相关的真实、有趣的语境,引导学生在句子或语篇中通过阅读、观察、分析、理解、归纳去探索并理解运用目标词汇与目标语法结构的形式、用法和意义。
2. 基于新课标下的核心素养目标,本节课继续按照“学习理解—应用实践—迁移创新”的思路进行设计。
3. 强调学生在语言学习中的主体地位,引导学生积极参与符合其认知的、层层递进、相互关联、有真实情境的课堂活动,践行英语学习活动观,培养学生的跨文化交流意识、批判性思维以及自主学习能力和合作意识,通过练习和作业强调词汇、语法的语用功能。
教材分析
【What】本文的语篇是一篇美食杂志文章,文体为说明文,话题是“治愈系食物”;文章主要介绍了治愈系食物的定义、特点和功效;作者重点分析了治愈系食物背后所具有的来源于家庭的情感属性和以民族认同感为核心的文化属性。
【Why】学生通过阅读语篇,认识到治愈系食物能让人们回忆起美好的童年,能让海外游子一解乡愁,从而意识到食物不仅能使人保持健康、充满活力,而且还能调节情绪、抚慰心灵。通过本文的学习,学生学会透过现象看本质,理解饮食背后的情感因素和文化因素。
【How】本板块语篇的类型是说明文,文章主旨明确、结构清晰。作者通过叙述自身体验,引出文章主题---治愈系食物及其定义,接着介绍了其中一类治愈系食物的两大特征,最后点题:治愈系食物既是可口的美味,又是联结个人幸福记忆的纽带。文本采用的是第一人称的视角,这有助于拉进与读者的距离,增加文章的真实性和说服力。此外,本文在写作手法上还有以下几方面的特点:细节描写形象生动;分析深入透彻;语言上使用了较多的短语动词和复合句。
学情分析
1. What I know
词汇方面:学生在之前的学习中已经掌握了一些与食物相关的基础词汇,如 “food”, “cook”, “smell”等。这些词汇能够帮助他们初步理解课文的主题。
语法方面:学生已经学习了简单句的基本句型,如主谓宾、主系表等, 对于阅读课文中的句子理解有一定的基础。同时,学生在前阶段的学习中也已经学习了并列句和主从复合句,掌握了定语从句、名词性从句和状语从句的知识。这有助于他们理解文本中的一些较长的句子,例如“No matter how bad my mood is, that perfect combination is always enough to lift my spirits.”此外,学生也已经学习了非谓语动词中动词-ed形式、动词-ing形式和动词不定式的部分知识。这些知识有助于他们理解文章中的含有非谓语结构的句子,比如“With pleasure, I remember the lazy Sunday afternoons I used to spend in the warmth of my grandma’s flat, listening to her wonderful stories and greedily eating bowl after bowl of her delicious rice pudding.”。
背景知识方面:学生在日常生活中对食物的相关知识有一定的了解,并且对这一话题很感兴趣。他们知道不同的国家有不同的美食,也知道某些食物能够给他们带来幸福感、唤醒他们的美好记忆、甚至治愈他们的情绪。这些背景知识能够让他们与课文内容产生共鸣,从而更好地理解作者想要传达的信息和表达的细腻情感。
2. What I want to know
学生可能想要知道什么是治愈系食物。例如,哪些食物属于治愈系食物,治愈系食物有什么特点。
他们可能想要了解食物和文化之间有什么关系。
他们可能想要了解说明文的写作特征。
学生可能希望学习和积累更多与食物相关的高级词汇和短语,以丰富自己的表达。
他们可能想了解文中出现的一些复杂句子结构的用法,他们可能也想要了解文章中用到的一些写作手法,比如举例子的方法。以及如何在自己的写作和口语中运用这些结构和写作手法来准确表达观点。
3. What I learned
主题内容方面:通过阅读课文,学生将学会什么是治愈系食物以及其背后的文化因素。学生知道治愈系食物指的是能让我们感觉更好的任何食物,而其中特定的一种指的是能唤醒我们脑海中美好联结的食物。学生也了解到这一类治愈系食物的两大特征,最后理解它既是可口的美味,又是联结个人幸福记忆的纽带。
语言知识方面:学生将学习新的词汇,如recipe, flavour, dessert等与食物相关的词汇,以及mood, emotion, relieve等与情绪相关的词汇。 他们会接触到一些新的句子结构和语法现象,如在描写治愈系食物给个人带来的感受时使用的复杂句式。同时,也能学会如何运用这些语言知识来描述和讨论治愈系食物相关的话题,提高自己的阅读、写作和口语能力。

Activity 5 Post Reading
Discuss with your partners and answer the following questions.
1. In your opinion, is there any difference between one’s comfort food and favorite food? Give your reasons.
答案:1. I think people’s favourite food and comfort food are different in two ways. First, people’s favourite food can come and go, while their comfort food often remains the same. Second, people’s favourite food often connects with satisfying their hunger, while comfort food usually connects with memories from their childhood.
2. Recommend some comfort food and give your reasons.
答案:2. For me, childhood is inseparably connected with the taste of tanghulu, a snack of sugar-coated hawthorn berries on a bamboo stick. My dad used to bring me all sorts of snacks when he came back home from work, but tanghulu is by far my favourite. Even now, the mere taste of this treat recalls the warmth of his bear hugs. Whenever I miss home, I treat myself to a stick of tanghulu. It's my secret cure for homesickness and it works every time.

答案:1. 1) cry out for; 2) do the trick; 3) emotions; 4)desserts; 5) mood; 6) greedily; 7) is / has been linked; 8) relieve.
2. Write down your answers of the three questions.
1) What type of comfort food is talked about in the passage?
2) What are the hidden dangers of this type of comfort food?
3) Explain the term “comfort food” based on the article in Reading part and the B1 passage.
答案:
2.1) This passage talks about a different type of comfort food---food high in calories.
2) Food high in calories increases the blood sugar level quickly, which causes the body to produce a special chemical to remove it. When the chemical lowers the blood sugar level, the eater is likely to teel sad again and eat more of the food. This creates a never-ending cycle of unhealthy eating. The hidden danger of this type of comfort food is that even though it helps relieve our tension and makes us feel good, it also harms our body.
3) Comfort food, in a broad sense, refers to any food that makes people feel better when they are unwell or in low spirits. One kind of comfort food can bring back our happy memories of the past or offer an opportunity to connect with our home culture. Another type of comfort food, which is high in calories, can generate positive emotions by making the blood sugar level increase quickly, thus harming the body.

Unit1 Food Matters
Reading Comfort food
教学反思
优点:
教学设计紧密结合新课标的相关要求,聚焦于“comfort food is food for the soul”这一语篇主题意义,将多种阅读策略有机融入各教学环节,协助学生多维度解读语篇,提升深度阅读的能力。注重学生的实际应用能力和思维能力的培养。
缺点:
在某些活动的设计中,可能未能充分考虑所有学生的个体差异,可能会导致部分学生跟不上教学进度,或影响教学进度。
在语言点和长难句的处理中,没有充分考虑主题,创设出对应的语境进行语言点的操练。
改进:
今后应更加关注学生的个体差异,利用课前课后的时间,提供个性化指导和支持,尽量使所有学生都能参与到课堂中来。
今后应更关注主题语境,创设对应的情境练习语言点。
